Family Naming#

Family lineage is important among the raider clans. Children are given a personal name at birth, while their family name is formed from the name of whichever parent holds the greater glory at that time. To this name the suffix loke is added until the child comes of age and chooses to identify as male (askr) or female (emb), though some choose to retain loke throughout their lives.

A raider might therefore be known as Aron Thussaskr (son of Thuss), Aron Thussemb (daughter of Thuss), or Aron Thussloke (child of Thuss).

Thralls retain their original names but take a surname indicating the place where they were captured, followed by the suffix frek. For example, Othar Fragidfrek means “Othar from Fragid.” Those who are formally adopted into a clan take on the standard naming pattern described above.
